While I was out and about today I ran into some Nemadji collectors. It’s always fun to hear about found bargains. It seems garage sales in the Moose Lake area still have lots of “gold” to mine. Dave and Jeanne told me about a great bargain they snapped up on a Nemadji Pottery lamp. Listening to their stories…it’s true the early bird catches the worm. The photos above include the old showroom sign used at the Nemadji Pottery plant in Kettle River. I purchased it when the plant closed its doors for good in 2002. The pottery plaque was created especially for me. I use it when I do my presentations about the history of Nemadji Pottery and Tile. It might just be the last piece of Nemadji to be created. I have also added a photo of the new art installation in Moose Lake, Minnesota. It represents the amazing history of our little town which is the gateway of the Arrowhead Region.

This is a segment of a new archway that was assembled in Moose Lake, Minnesota this summer by Larson Clayworks . I especially love this piece of the archway as it honors the history of Nemadji pottery and tile in Moose Lake. If you visit the city, the artwork is located next to the library. I would love to see your selfie next to this!
